For your toddler, serve a few pieces of plain mackerel and a few daikon wedges, both cut into small, safe pieces.

Recipe

1

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.

2

Season the mackerel fillets with 1/2 tsp salt on both sides. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Cut daikon into 2 cm thick wedges.

child_care Set aside one fillet for your child before salting; season it with just a pinch of salt.
3

Place mackerel skin-side down and daikon wedges in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C for 8 minutes.

child_care Place the unsalted fillet and a few daikon wedges in a separate small basket or foil packet to avoid cross-contamination.
4

Flip the mackerel and daikon. Brush mackerel with the soy-mirin mixture. Air fry at 200°C for another 5–7 minutes, until mackerel flakes easily and internal temperature reaches 63°C, and daikon is tender.

child_care For your child's portion, skip the soy-mirin brush; simply cook for the same time.
5

Serve the mackerel and daikon with lemon wedges on the side.

child_care For your toddler, cut the mackerel and daikon into small, bite-sized pieces and serve with a lemon wedge to squeeze (optional).
